I have a status line indicator to show whether tmux is in Control mode.
So, even when nested, it's always clear what will happen. One nested session (two total) is manageable. Adding another gets annoying, but the need is rare.

bind -n S-up \
set -g status-bg white \; \
set -g prefix None
bind -n S-down \
set -g prefix C-a \; \
set -g status-bg green
Here's what I use:
set -g status-left "#{?client_prefix,#[bg=colour76]^,#[bg=colour235]_} [#S]"
set -g status-right ' | #[fg=colour76]#h#[fg=default] %H%M%Z'
But yeah, when I didn't have splits and things in my emulator I used something like you did. Make a remote section visually distinct. To a lot of extent I still do, just this isn't necessary through tmux anymore
